In this interview, lead singer A/J Jackson describes his lyric writing processes:
One involves the gibberish I make up when I’m writing a song. Just filler to get the melody in place. Sometimes, the filler actually has a couple words that inspire me. A good example of this is one of our new songs,...
[Verse 1]
Of all the illegal ways to take someone's life
There's one just as sharp, and it's sharp as a knife
And it's called honest feedback
It's called honest feed—
So many ways to put a foot in the hearse
A gun gets it done but there's something much worse
And it's called honest feedback
It's called honest feed—
[Chorus]
Well, your tongue's magic
Your tongue's magic now
[Verse 2]
So many people got their neck in the noose
They'd rather jump off than hear gossip from you
When it is honest feedback
When it's honest feed—
How do I look?
Am I driving too fast?
Of all of your old lovers, am I the best?
Well it's just honest feedback
Watch your honest feed—
[Chorus]
Well your tongue's magic
Your tongue's magic now
Your tongue's magic
Your tongue's magic now
[Verse 3]
So many people again and again
They make their enemies telling the truth to their friends
It's just honest feedback
Watch your honest feed—
How was this song?
Did you like what you heard?
Would you play it again or was it just too absurd?
It's just honest feedback
It's just honest feed—
[Chorus]
Well your tongue's magic
Your tongue's magic now
Your tongue's magic
Your tongue's magic now
